TV's most shocking deaths!
Our Buffyverse and Angel stars did make the list!!! |
 Name: Doyle (Glenn Quinn)
Location of Death: "Angel"
Date of Death: 1999
Cause of Death: Electrocution, from trying to dismantle a death machine that could only be found on shows like this
Breakdown: "Angel" was the grim spin-off of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and during the show's first season, it only had three main characters: Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire-turned-cosmic-detective/champion; Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), his vain assistant, and Doyle, a witty half-demon whose visions help Angel save victims suffering in Los Angeles. Fans immediately loved Doyle, whose wit and good nature interjected some warmth and humor into an often bleak and dark show. But this didn't stop creator Joss Whedon from pulling the rug out and offing Doyle nine episodes into the series, thus killing 33 percent of his cast. Doyle's self-sacrifice saved the world, but it upset viewers so much that many never returned to "Angel." Bummer for them, because it was just getting great. Over the course of five seasons, nearly everyone on the show died ... L.A. ain't a pretty place. Sadly, Quinn himself died young, just three years after his TV demise.
 Name: Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar)
Location of Death: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Date of Death: 2001
Cause of Death: Mystical: She jumps from a high platform into a time portal to stop the Apocalypse (again) and then falls to the ground dead
Breakdown: So many painful deaths populate "Buffy" that another list is needed. I'm sure many of you will write in and say Tara or Joyce or Jenny Calendar or Anya belongs here instead. Yes, those were all rough (especially Tara). However, it comes down to one thing: They were supporting characters. When Joss Whedon and crew killed off their titular character at the end of season five, you could hear gasps across the Buffyverse. Gutsy doesn't begin to describe the plot twist. And, yes, she came back in season six, but that was even more twisted and upsetting than her beautiful self-sacrifice. The final images are lasting. After Buffy's dead body is shown lying on the ground, friends sobbing around her, you think, "Nah, she's not really dead. They can't kill the main character." Cut to a gravestone that reads: "BUFFY ANNE SUMMERS; 1981-2001; BELOVED SISTER, DEVOTED FRIEND, SHE SAVED THE WORLD A LOT." Sniff.
The shocking deaths are Det. Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) from "NYPD Blue" or Teri Bauer (Leslie Hope) from "24". Click on the source to read all!
Thanks to Joey-Anya!
